Start out with 25% diesel, then 50% diesel, etc.
I've thought of that too. The whole entire point, really, is ultra-lean burn. With gasoline, more than 16:1 is no good for economy, but with diesel, super lean works, obviously, as there is no throttle plate. It would be interesting to see how a diesel/gasoline mixture would react to ultra-lean.
